Phil Robertson says that his qualifications for a president include someone who is godly and who would "kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo."

The bearded and camouflaged Robertson announced his endorsement of Cruz in a video released Wednesday. Robertson and Cruz are shown sitting in a duck blind, blowing a duck whistle and firing shotguns. The Republican senator from Texas is wearing camouflage overalls.

Robertson says in the endorsement video that his qualifications for a president include someone who is godly and who would "kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo." He says Cruz "fits the bill."

Cruz defended Robertson in 2014 when he got in trouble for declaring that gays are sinners and that African-Americans were happy under Jim Crow laws.
